DISSOCIATION

Dissociation is your nervous system’s way of protecting you. It can look like zoning out, feeling detached, or forgetting periods of time. Therapy focuses on gently reconnecting you with your body, emotions, and surroundings at a pace that feels safe.

Intense emotions, fear of abandonment, and relationship challenges often arise from early or ongoing trauma. Trauma-informed therapy helps you understand and regulate these patterns, while fostering self-compassion and agency.
